Undecided on turbo... need some input

Alright so here's the deal. I am really undecided on what to go with read my sig its the cummins swap F-350. I have narrowed it down to a 62/71/13 or 12 or a 62/65/13 or 12 I will be doing a fair amount of towing. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

As a towing turbo!

Nearly all of threads on the Silver 62 are "I was recommended this turbo by II for towing and I HATE IT" It's a high rpm race turbo, not a towing turbo.

Ha now I'm royally confused. I'm leaning towards the 62/65 but how much difference is there between 12 and 13 with spooling? Will a 12 get too hot up top?

The 12 will be fine up top on a VE motor.
